Paula Villanueva-Llauradó¹, Jaime Fernández-Gómez¹, Francisco J. González-Ramos¹

This manuscript presents a method for controlling the quality of installation for spike anchors designed to delay delamination of externally bonded fiber reinforced polymers. The protocol includes the preparation of the drill hole and the insertion process. The most influential parameters on the efficiency of the anchors are discussed.
